Please help us spread the word!
HDI CATS currently has several upright walkers available for FREE through the CARAT program.

Why people love upright walkers:
• Encourage a more natural, upright posture
• Reduce strain on hands, wrists, shoulders, neck, and back
• Improve visibility by keeping your head up and eyes forward
• Include a comfortable built-in seat for resting when needed

If you or someone you know could benefit from one, give us a call at 859-218-7979.
